Setting The Transition Rate - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

Setting the Transition Rate

There are three ways of setting the transition rate: using the Flexi Pad control
block, Multifunction Flexi Pad control block or numeric keypad control block
to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu
for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
You can also display the transition rate, independent key transition rate, and
fade-to-black transition rate for each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and
change the settings. (See "Displaying a List of Transition Rates and Changing
the Settings" (page 444).)
Notes
When a clip transition is selected as the transition type, it is not possible to set
the transition rate.
Frame input mode and timecode input mode
For numeric input of the transition rate value, there are two modes: frame input
mode and timecode input mode. You select one of these modes using either the
Flexi Pad control block (page 177), Multifunction Flexi Pad control block or
the numeric keypad control block (page 178).
Frame input mode: The entered value is a number of frames.
Timecode input mode: The entered value is a timecode value.
Notes
Whereas you can enter a value of up to 999 in frame input mode, a value not
smaller than 10 seconds cannot be entered in timecode input mode.
Frame display mode and timecode display mode
For the transition rate display in the transition control block, there are two
modes: frame display mode and timecode display mode. You can select one of
these modes in setup. (See "Operation Settings (Operation Menu)" in Chapter
19 (Volume 3).)
Notes
The setting is common to all banks of the switcher.
Frame display mode: Values are shown as from 0 to 999 frames. In this
